But once you’re able to spend the money on the Processing Room, you’ll immediately begin recovering your investment, as Cheese and Butter sell for much more than Milk does alone. For help with how to use the Processing Room in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, we’ve got you covered.

To unlock the Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Processing Room, you'll need to first order the construction of the building from the "Facilities" section in the Ledger.

After you buy the Processing Room for 150,000g up front, Takakura begins construction, and a couple of days later, you've got a new building between your storage shed and Takakura's house.

This is a huge investment that may take some time to afford, so don't worry if you don't get it in your first year or two.

Once the Processing Room is built, Takakura gives you a tour to show you the two machines inside - a round yellow machine that makes your Cheese, and a gray machine in the opposite corner that makes Butter.

To make Butter or Cheese in the Processing Room, simply approach one of the machines with a bottle of Milk equipped, and interact with the machine.

You'll then be asked how many products you want to make. Although the game does register each grade and type of Milk as a unique item, you're able to craft Cheese and Butter in bulk, up to how many you have of that specific Milk.

You can approach the machine again after switching to a different Milk in your inventory to make Butter or Cheese out of other kinds of Milk after you've made your first.

For double the price of a Normal Cow, you can also buy both Marble and Brown Cows from the Ledger as well.

These two different breeds of cows are visually different, and they'll also produce unique Milks, called Marble Milk and Brown Milk, respectively.

You're told in the animal's buying page in the Ledger, but Marble Milk makes better Cheese, while Brown Milk makes better Butter. When using one of these Milks in the designated machine, you increase your final product by one grade from the raw Milk.

For instance, if you put Brown Milk (B) into the Butter Machine, the Brown Cow being better for Butter means you'll get Butter (A) as a result.

Meanwhile, using Marble Milk (B) in the Butter Machine only gives you Butter (B) - still a good value, but without the innate boost to the quality of the final product that you get just for using the "correct" machine.

While Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Butter and Cheese are normally a great way to increase the sale price of a raw animal product, this sale price bonus does not apply to Star Milk.

Even at its lowest grade, Star Milk (B) sells for 375g per bottle. When using Star Milk to make Cheese or Butter, it will not improve the grade or make a special product - you'll simply end up with Butter (B) or Cheese (B).

Given that these sell for notedly less gold than just raw Star Milk itself, it's best to sell Star Milk outright and use other Milks for artisan goods to make the most cash on your steep investment.

If you bought the Goat during the Spring when Van was selling her at his shop, then you'll have been collecting Goat Milk in addition to your cows' milks.

And while it does sell for a good amount of gold as raw milk, you can also process Goat Milk in the Processing Room, too.

Instead of normal cheeses and butters, you'll get Goat Cheese and Goat Butter instead.

Thankfully, unlike the Star Milk, Goat Milk does make a special product, and Goat Cheese and Butter are a great way to earn more money on Goat Milk because of it.
